Export files with Autodesk Translation Framework (ATF)

You can use the ATF (Autodesk Translation Framework) file translation system to export Autodesk Maya and 3rd-party file formats.
Note: Maya support for ATF is Windows only.
  1. Select File > Export All/Export Selected > . The Maya Export options appear.
  2. Select from the following ATF file types in the File Type menu:
    • IGES_ATF
    • JT_ATF
    • DXF_ATF
    • PARASOLID_ATF
    • SAT_ATF
    • STEP_ATF
    • STL_ATF
    • WIRE_ATF
    • INVENTOR_ATF
    • CATIAV5_ATF
    • DWG_ATF / DXF_ATF
    • NX_ATF
  3. Select any of the Export preferences available:
    • Default file extensions:

      When on (default), exports the file with the extension for the selected File type.

    • Preserve references:

      If Preserve Reference is turned on, the references within the exported file are preserved. If it is turned off, all references are exported within the file; that is, they are no longer references, but are now objects in the scene. The default is off.

    • Export unloaded references:

      Exports any unloaded reference files associated with the current scene.

  4. Click Export.
